A runtime dependency is missing from the generated pom file

I’m new to gradle and pom files, etc. so please be gentle. :slight_smile:

I’ve inherited a couple of build.gradle files that contains the following dependency entries with the same item listed as both a compile-time and a run-time dependency. However, the run-time dependency does not show up in the generated pom file:

Example #1:

dependencies {
  compile gradleApi()
  groovy localGroovy()
    testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.8.2'
  testCompile group: 'xom', name: 'xom', version: '1.2.5'
  testCompile group: 'com.oracle', name: 'ojdbc6', version: '11.2.0.2'
    compile group: 'org.codehaus.groovy.modules.http-builder', name: 'http-builder', version: '0.5.2'
    runtime group: 'org.codehaus.groovy.modules.http-builder', name: 'http-builder', version: '0.5.2'
  runtime group: 'com.oracle', name: 'ojdbc6', version: '11.2.0.2'
  runtime group: 'xom', name: 'xom', version: '1.2.5'
}

Example #2:

dependencies {
  compile gradleApi()
  groovy localGroovy()
    compile group: 'com.cfactor.release', name: 'groovy-release-utilities', version: '1.1'
    runtime group: 'com.cfactor.release', name: 'groovy-release-utilities', version: '1.1'
}

The generated pom files contain the following (generated using gradle 1.0-rc-1):

Example #1:

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>xom</groupId>
    <artifactId>xom</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.5</version>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>junit</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
    <version>4.8.2</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
    <artifactId>ojdbc6</artifactId>
    <version>11.2.0.2</version>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy.modules.http-builder</groupId>
    <artifactId>http-builder</artifactId>
    <version>0.5.2</version>
    <scope>compile</scope>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

Example #2:

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.cfactor.release</groupId>
    <artifactId>groovy-release-utilities</artifactId>
    <version>1.1</version>
    <scope>compile</scope>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

Shouldn’t there be an entry for org.codehaus.groovy.modules.http-builder/http-builder with a scope of runtime in the first example, and the same for com.cfactor.release/groovy-release-utilities in the second example?

I’m not sure if this is a case of a problem in gradle or if it’s just my lack of understanding the structure of the pom. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Maury

Both in Gradle and Maven, ‘compile’ implies ‘runtime’. Hence the generated POMs are correct.
